Chapter 551: Ninth Palace
"Master, are you being a hands-off boss again?"
"What do you mean by 'again'? This is clearly 'another billion times'!"
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go off topic. Don’t you realize how vicious our Master is? That was our Master-wife Tiandao, whom we had carefully cared for and loved so much before, but now he pushes us around without hesitation!”
"Alas, food and sex are human nature, and people's hearts have changed! As the legend goes, lust is like a sword hanging over one's head. Master is such a 'wise' person - he will definitely not be able to escape it."
"Shut up!"
Inside the meeting hall of the Tianjian Sect, the core disciples with their gossip buffs fully activated were whispering to each other, their eyes wandering, unable to hide their curiosity, and most importantly, their desire to watch the fun.
Until Tao Yao shouted, her face was full of anger, her teeth were gnashing, and her tone was heavy, "You wicked fellows, don't you feel that the little master's wife is in such a pity? Qu Shang, you should face the challenge head-on at this time! You are the only one who can save the little master's wife at this moment!"
Qu Shang rolled his eyes and said, "I have flirted with you hundreds of millions of times over the past few thousand years. What can I do? You can't force me to have sex with you."
"Ahem, I've said enough. Isn't the focus and core of the discussion now on how to complete the connection with the Heavenly Dao within three hundred years? I always think that Master's move is of great significance." Li Guohuai said.
"Oh, it is quite 'profound'."
"Yes, yes, it's so deep!"
"Do you think that as disciples, we have the right to make a scene in the bridal chamber?"
Ji Ming, Gou Dao and Zhu Ti laughed so hard that they looked very obscene.
"Get out!"
Qu Shang glared at them, and the three of them immediately ran away in panic.
"Okay, let's talk business." Jiang Rong sighed, "Master's meaning is very clear. He used thunderbolts to destroy and paralyze Tiandao's basic control over this world, and then arranged the marriage after the Xing people were unable to launch a large-scale attack. This is not to seize power and resign, but to doubt that Tiandao's young master's wife is unreliable."
"Of course, this unreliability does not mean that Master Tiandao is disloyal. Master must have sensed or felt that there was some fatal hidden danger, so he did this."
"So, our responsibility now is to work out a strategy that can perfectly connect with the Way of Heaven."
As soon as Jiang Rong said this, everyone's expressions immediately became serious. No one joked anymore, or really took this as a fun thing.
"From what I see from Master's intention and his previous act of deifying himself, perhaps he is trying to imitate the routine of belief in gods. That can also be a way to replace the way of heaven." Zhao Baiyi pondered.
"Forget it. The method of controlling the world through belief in gods is already too low-level. Not to mention being in the fourth sequence, even in the fifth sequence, it has no competitiveness and has long been eliminated."
"Then tell me what other methods can replace the Heavenly Dao. You know, the Heavenly Dao is the best choice for managing the world so far. It is a manager who can achieve a relatively perfect level in all aspects. It is also the core of the Dao Rhyme that best fits the long river of time and the six major sequence structures. Forgive my ignorance, but I can't think of any better solution to replace the Heavenly Dao."
"Hey, I say, are we thinking too much? Maybe Master's original intention was just to eat the watermelon when it's ripe, and to watch the sunrise together when the little Tiandao master's wife grows up. Ahem, he just wants us to find a new candidate for Tiandao?"
"Yes, yes, Qu Shang, you can go and be a Tiandao old lady!"
"quiet!"
"Shut up!"
The meeting hall became quiet again.
Qu Shang stood up and said, "I propose to expand the recruitment of the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, increase the scope of authority of the Law Elders, Deacon Elders, Inspection Elders, and Punishment Elders, and take over part of the power of the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, we will add the Heavenly Secret Hall, the Earth Vein Dispatching Hall, and the Merit Hall, and newly establish Heavenly Secret Elders, Earth Vein Elders, and Merit Elders to fill the gaps left by the Heavenly Dao."
"Among them, the Heavenly Secret Hall is responsible for monitoring, sorting out, correcting, and adjusting the changes in the Heavenly Secrets, the flow of Dao rhyme, and the increase and decrease of the luck of the hundreds of races in the world; the Earth Vein Dispatching Hall is responsible for managing and maintaining the 9,999 earth veins in this world. In the future, each department's resource needs will require the formulation of an application plan. If approved, resources can be allocated. If not, the application will be rejected. However, since this place is extremely important, it will need to be supervised by the Heavenly Secret Hall, the Inspection Hall, the Law Hall, the Punishment Hall, and the Merit Hall."
"The Merit Hall is responsible for recording the merits of all living beings, from saints to ordinary people. It is also called the Merit and Demerit Book. Merits are added to those who have made merits, and merits are subtracted from those who have committed demerits. This Merit Book will become an important basis for the Earth Vein Dispatching Center to allocate resources. Therefore, it is also subject to supervision by other halls."
"I agree in principle, but the power and responsibilities of the Heavenly Secret Hall are too great. I suggest that it be divided into three parts, namely the Heavenly Secret Hall, the Dao Yun Hall, and the Qi Yun Hall. The Heavenly Secret Hall will only be responsible for adjusting the secrets of heaven and earth, detecting the enemy, and repairing the defense of the Heavenly Dao barrier. The Dao Yun Hall will only be responsible for the Dao Yun of heaven and earth, the laws of the Dao of the Sword, and adjusting and optimizing the general principles of cultivation for us cultivators. The Qi Yun Hall will be responsible for the increase and decrease of the luck of the hundreds of races in heaven and earth, and at the same time supervise and record merits, so the Merit Hall can be directly abolished."
Taoyao spoke second, and Li Guohuai spoke third.
"I suggest that the Heavenly Dao Barrier be renamed the Heaven and Earth Barrier, and that we mobilize capable personnel to optimize, improve and upgrade all Heaven and Earth Barriers. After all, this involves the safety of our world. In short, I don't want the situation of the Xing people to happen to us. Therefore, the Heavenly Secret Hall is only responsible for adjusting the secrets of the world inside and outside and for reconnaissance and early warning. For the specific defense and optimization of the Heaven and Earth Barrier, I suggest setting up a new Tianshu Hall, and I, Li Guohuai, will be in charge of the Tianshu Hall."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused, but Li Guohuai didn't care. He was now one of the twelve demigods of law, ranked fourth in strength, so he naturally had the qualifications.
"Whether you can become the master of Tianshu Palace depends on whether your master agrees and whether you have the ability. Therefore, you only have 300 years to show your ability."
He Yimou spoke slowly.
“Then we’ll wait and see.” Li Guohuai snorted, and he had already begun to think about how to optimize and upgrade the 35th level of the heaven and earth barrier. He was considered the most unruly of the group, and he was not even afraid of Qu Shang and Jiang Rong. But if he got serious, he was really worried that Zhang Yang, his cheap master who loved to laugh, would get angry, and the consequences would be very serious.
At this time, Wu Jun said in a deep voice: "I will be the master of the Inspection Hall. The Inspection Hall will have the power to inspect and supervise other halls. I don't care what you think, but if you dare to be partial or slack, I will not let any of you go."
"Then the master of the Punishment Hall will be mine. Senior Brother Wu, you will be in charge of inspections, and I will enforce the law. If anyone thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because he has the power of Heaven, I will never hold back."
He Yimou also said in a deep voice that although the two of them were also among the Twelve Laws Demigods, they were the most mature, stable and loyal. Well, this loyalty was not only to Zhang Yang, but also to the Tianjian Sect, and even more so to the world they had created with their own hands.
So the nature is completely different.
No one objected when they heard this, because Wu Jun was the eldest senior brother appointed by Zhang Yang himself, and the most famous honest and kind person among the disciples of the Tianjian Sect. He had been like this before he joined the Tianjian Sect. This not only made Zhang Yang feel at ease, but also made others feel more at ease.
As for He Yimou, he is the most prudent in handling things among the disciples of that generation. At the same time, he is also the most enthusiastic about the development of the Tianjian Sect. To put it bluntly, he can betray Zhang Yang, but he will never betray the Tianjian Sect, which is the result of his life's hard work.
"Then I will be in charge of Daoyun Hall."
Qu Shang also spoke up. She had originally proposed to add the new Tianji Hall to actually take over the core authority of Tiandao Xiaoniang, but no one was easy to fool. Tao Yao directly divided it into three parts for her, and Li Guohuai took another part, so she could only choose one out of the four.
Fortunately, no one competed with Qu Shang for the Daoyun Palace that she desired the most.
The Dao Yun Hall is like the right to speak in the Hundred Schools of Thought, or it is similar to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. It may have little impact on ordinary mortals, but for cultivators, it is something they must deal with.
What kind of skills and supernatural powers can be cultivated, what kind of insights are legal, and what kind of Dao rhyme is illegal, all of this is related to the Dao Rhyme Palace.
"Then I will come to the Tianji Palace."
Tao Yao smiled brightly. She and Qu Shang were usually very close, but when it came to the critical moment, they were the ones who were most skilled at sabotaging each other.
But afterwards they will continue to be fine as if nothing happened.
"Let me take charge of the Fortune Hall." Jiang Rong spoke at this time, and no one would argue with him.
At this point, the six powerful departments, namely Tianji Hall, Daoyun Hall, Qiyun Hall, Tianshu Hall, Xuncha Hall, and Punishment Hall, all have their masters. The six hall masters are all powerful bosses, and they directly took away 80% of Tiandao Xiaoniang's authority, even if these departments originally did not have the relevant authority.
When these six hall masters stood there, basically no one dared to fight for it. Even if there was, such as the man Zhao Baiyi who had been hiding behind Tao Yao, he was also a powerful boss, but if he also jumped out to fight, it would be too ugly.
As for the remaining Law Hall, it was the one that formulated all kinds of laws of heaven and earth, a Qingshui Yamen. After several people declined, it was finally "grabbed" by Guanshan.
The Deacon Hall was a place for running errands, and no one among the first generation disciples was willing to go there, so in the end they grabbed a laborer from the second generation to be the hall master.
Finally, there is the Earth Vein Dispatching Hall. This is like the God of Wealth Hall, a favorite of the finance department, but in reality it is not the case, because the resources are too important and must be fully supervised by the other eight halls. Besides, with their current status, do they need to be corrupt and embezzle for personal gain? It is too cheap.
And do you really think that the Tianji Hall and Xuncha Hall have too low a presence, or that their funny master is confused? Everyone knows it clearly.
So in a peaceful atmosphere, another second-generation disciple became the master of the Earth Vein Dispatching Hall.
When the Nine Palaces were established, they quickly started working, recruiting soldiers and making plans. After all, each palace had a trial operation period of only three hundred years. After three hundred years, if they failed to satisfy the Master Xiao Geng, then they would be beaten into a laughing stock by the Master Xiao Geng.
